Get a prepaid Suica/Pasmo card
Load public transit cards ahead of time to ride trains and buses seamlessly and avoid fumbling for change during transfers.
Carry small bills and cash
Many tiny eateries, shrines and markets accept only cash or have minimum card limits; keep ¥1,000 notes and coins handy.
Time your start to avoid rush hour
Start mid‑morning for calmer trains and shorter lines at popular food stops, or late afternoon for cooler temperatures and evening illuminations.
Confirm stroller accessibility
The tour is stroller‑friendly in many areas, but narrow alleys and older buildings may require a foldable stroller or baby carrier.
Comfortable walking shoes
Cobblestone alleys and long food markets require sturdy, comfortable footwear.
Portable phone charger
Photos, mobile tickets and translation apps can drain batteries quickly during an active city day.
